Well I know for those two particular artists the young death had a lot to do with it, but if you have a short career, theres no time to screw up what youre good at is there? A lot of bands that didn't last that long have this sense of mysticism and "never made a bad record" thing - the sex pistols, the stooges (before they reunited and made their awful latest album) the velvet underground etc...
